To all whom "it fmay concern:

Be it known that I, VALANCEY M. F ULLER, a subject of the King ofEngland, and a resident of New York, county and State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Holders, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates more particularly to a holder or device which isadapted to serve asa match safe, ash receiver and cigar or cigaretteholder.

The primary object of the invent-ion isto provide a device which isadapted to be 4attached under the top of a table or under the arm of achair or other support so that it may be'moved out of the way when notin providesr a receptacle having means for holding the ashes of cigars,cigarettes or the like and to hold matches convenient for removal orlighting the same, as well as to support the cigarettes or cigars topermit the ashes to fall into a tray orreceiverprovided therefor, thusovercoming the objections incident to the ordinary form of deviceprovided-,tor this purpose.

A further object (if the invention is to provide a simple and efficientdevice which may be readily made and assembledv and which may bepivotally attached to a support.

lVith these and other objects in view, the

invention will be hereinafter more particularly described with referenceto the accompanying drawings, which form a. part o f this specification,and will then be pointed out in the claim at the end of the description.i

In the drawings, Figure I is a perspective view of one form of deviceembodying my invention, showing the saine attached to a support. Fig. 2is a plan view of the device. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section taken onthe line III-III y transverse section through the device.

The casing 10, as Well as other features of the device, may be variouslyconstructed. As shown the casing has its body portion l1 substantiallyrectangular so as to provide side walls 12 and 13, and end walls 14 and15, and projecting from the wall 15 is an 'enJ tension or projectingpart 16. Thisfpart 16 may have its upper surface or plate portion 17substantially flush with the u per edge of the body portion i1 and may eformed as part of the wall l5 and may be provided with pendent iiangcs18 to strengthen the same; 4vThe extension 16 has its plateportion ofFig. 2, and Fig. 4 is `aI `17 as well as the walls or lianges 1Sinclined or tapering for part oi its length and terminates in a straightpart 19 over which is a a receptacle and withinthe receptac e is an ashreceiver or Vtray 23. 'This receiver is substantially rectangular and issomewhat smaller than the body portion 11, and above the receiver 28 maybe arranged a slide or support 24 which is adapted to move length- 75wise of the body portion'll of the casing. The side walls or fianges 12and 13 are grooved, as at 25, and the edges of the support or device 24are adapted to' move lengthwise in the grooves, and said slide or device24 may be in the form ot a plate having one end projecting upwardly, asat 26, and provided with recesses or curved portions 27 in which isadapted to rest cigars or cigarettes so that the ashes from the cigarsor cigarettes may fall into the receiver or tra 23.

box of matches', as 28, may be heldl within the body portion of thecasing l() at one end thereof and adjacent to the tray or receiver 23,though other match-holding means may be provided. IThis box may be oftheusual kind, and the top thereof may bQ` removed so that the matches maybe\ accessible and so that the side ot' the box 95 with the scratchingor striking surface, as 29, may be utilized to ignite the matches, theend wall 14 of the casing being proA vided with an opening as 30 topermit the end of the match to 'be moved across the 100 striking surfaceof the box within the casing, The bottom of the body l1 may be providedwith an opening 31 to permit the box of matches to be removed byinserting the iinger through said openings, and a simi 105 lar opening32 may be provided for the easy removal of the ash tray or receiver 23.From the foregoing, it will he seen that a simple and eiicient device isprovided which is adapted to hold an ash receiver, a box ot matches, andcigars or cigarettes while thesamey are lighted; that said device may besupported under a. table top or other support 1n such a manner that thesame may be moved entirely out of the Way when not 1n use or quicklyshifted in posithaty said device is simple in construction and may bereadily made; and that a simple device is provided for supthe cigars orcigarettes and which is adapted also to serve as a lid or'cover for tionfor use;
